Sounds Like: beh-THEES

Translations: you were feared, you feared, you became afraid

From the root: ΦΟΒΕΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a fragment of the Koine Greek verb 'ἐφοβήθης' (ephobēthēs), which means 'you were feared' or 'you feared/became afraid'. It is an aorist passive indicative form of the verb 'φοβέω' (phobeō), meaning 'to fear' or 'to be afraid'. The passive voice in this context often takes on a middle sense, meaning the subject performs the action on themselves (they become afraid). It would be used in a sentence to describe someone experiencing fear in a past, completed action.
